Well those cold winds do come straight at us from the Urals(or so I was told)..
must say I prefer Mablethorpe

Joking aside..hope it won't be too bad for you folk in CVO/Algarve.
Just nice steady rain without the 'tornando' bit

A bit windy between 05.00 and 07.00 but nothing sensational.

Calm now with light rain.

Gone out to se the eye of the storm -it must have a cataract because I can't see the sun !!

LOL - that was supposed to be a tropical storm? I only had to put down a cloth under the leak in my roof - proper storms hit and I have to break out a pan or worst case, a bucket.

Well, it was a bit wild up here on my hill near Silves earlier this morning (couldn't get my old broom off the ground) but it all seems to have calmed down now. Only problem is, a friend of mine has left his car with me while he is away for a month and guess what??? The rear window don't close and I forgot to put some plastic over it. Whoops...hope it drys out before he's back
